2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 8lb |
Two-time winner, both at Fairyhouse; won a 2m (soft) novice handicap off 109 there in December; added a 21.5f handicap (yld-sft) off 122 last month, scoring by 5.5l; 9lb rise for that seems fair; should be competitive again but wouldn't want to see too much rain (well beaten in four previous starts on soft to heavy). |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Sole success came in 2m handicap here in December on soft; followed that up with a solid second over 20.5f (gd-yld) at Leopardstown and just 2lb higher here; struggled at 2m on testing ground the last twice, but interesting now back up in trip at the scene of his only win with Cobden taking over. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Form in maidens was nothing special but took advantage of opening mark of 109 to win his second handicap start at Fairyhouse (2m, soft); solid second when 11-8 favourite in a novice handicap at Leopardstown (2m4f, good to yielding); better than he showed at Navan last time when well beaten; appears to be the pick of the owner's two. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Modest form in point-to-points and maiden hurdles; pulled up after never counting on last month's handicap debut at Down Royal; headgear combination needs to bring serious improvement. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

Consistent form before justifying favouritism in a Down Royal maiden in December; not as well suited by the race conditions as the other two on the same weight. |

Runner-up in second point-to-point start, having failed to complete his first; good third in big-field heavy ground Naas maiden on rules debut; heavily punted back at that track in April but finished a well-beaten fourth; early days yet. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
11st 12lb |
Point winner won a Gowran maiden hurdle last autumn before a fine second in a Galway novice to a subsequent Grade 1 winner; hasn't gone on from that and just fair handicap runs the last twice; has work to do against some of these rivals on chase bow. |
5/1 |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
12st 0lb |
Point winner; 0-4 in bumpers; improved for a tongue-tie over hurdles until dropping out very tamely in Navan Grade 3; the form of his second at Galway reads well; not beaten far on handicap debut at Leopardstown; hard to dismiss. |

An 80-rated Flat winner ran fine races in his first three hurdle attempts last autumn but was poor in a hood at this track when last seen; however, has a chance if restored to best on return; first-string for a yard that had a Punchestown winner. |

11st 12lb |
81-rated Flat horse has been placed on latest three of four attempts hurdling, most recently chasing home a 6l winner at Punchestown; tried hooded now and place claims again, more needed to play a major role in a stronger maiden. |

1st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 40y |

Dual-purpose AW winner; out of form at Dundalk earlier this year and disappointing return to turf at the Curragh eight days ago; eased 1lb and down in trip, but others arrive in better fettle. |
33/1 |

13th 21 (21) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |

Has only had one Flat run on turf; fair performer at up to 2m on AW at Dundalk, maiden winner (1m4f) and placed twice, including when third off this mark in October (1m4f); should be suited by ground conditions. |

Left previous modest efforts behind when staying on to finish 4l second behind a Willie Mullins-trained favourite at Tramore (2m, soft) last November; backed up that promising effort with a third placing in a Cork novice event in January (yielding-to-soft); could feature if showing similar form on better ground after a good break. |

3rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 80y |
